You missed the even better deal with those plates from Amazon. In addition to the 12 dinner plates you can get the matching set including the 12 salad plates and 12 bowls for $8.97.

There's $5.95 shipping on those plates..

@Vilgrom: Not too bad of deal with the shipping.

I miss Krispy Kreme. :(

Oh and that Staples deal looks like a loophole that I can see them not honoring.

Nice. I got the plates, matching bowls, and matching salad plates for a total of $14.92, including shipping.

I also showed the Staples paper deal to my boss, and it looks like I'll be going to Staples on my lunch break.

Geometry Wars is the shit. Although, if you have a half-decent computer you can buy the game on Steam for $4.95 I think.

Am I missing something with these plates at Amazon? When I click the link it shows a price of $37.48. The 8-inch sells for 2.99, but the 10-inch is much higher.

The MS Office deal through www.ultimatesteal.com is ALWAYS going on.. and well worth it!

It appears the Amazon plates deal has been used up. I clicked on the link, found the good deal, then when I went to add to my cart, it told me the seller was sold out. Back to normal prices. :(

It looks like dinner plate deal is gone, and the price is back up to 37 dollars.

Anytime I've been to Krispy Kreme, if the "Donuts Fresh Now" sign is lit, they give you a free glazed donut while you wait in line. I don't think I'd sign up for anything just for a free donut that you could probably get for free otherwise.

@undefined:

Are the plates on sale anymore? they're popping up at a discounted price, but not $2.99.

I hate when Amazon does that, it seems they like to offer something at a low price, then jack the price up in a few hours without warning.

@emona: Yeah, I saw the same price too. It's my understanding that the 2.99 price was a temporary promo and it's already ended.

The plates deal was originally offered on Amazon through BeallsFlorida.com. It must be sold out now because it has gone back to Amazon.com. This is the reason for the higher price.

@PriceIsWrong:
I'm seeing the same thing. Maybe a price mistake?

@Ben
Also, what's with the Office Ultimate deal showing up twice under the Buxr deals?

Is anybody else clicking on Geometry Wars only to get priced at $58.44?

@sixseeds: Ah, I see now, in the corner for "other vendors." Never mind.

@wastedlife: The Krispy Kreme I could go to in DC is too small to really have a line to wait in and get a free donut in the meantime.

@Moosehawk: I think the Wii version has extra levels or something. Still, I thought the original had dual-analog controls? The reviews are good, though, so I assume they worked that out.

The Steam version is the original, at $3.99, actually. And I'm pretty sure it's still available on Live, too, although I'd go for the Steam version just out of spite for Microsoft's refusal to take real money.

@sixseeds: I wonder what Amazon's justification for putting another company's inventory on the page over theirs by default is? I'd assume they'd go customer friendly and show the cheapest one before shipping, but here they have the $60 retailer who charges shipping listed over their own, at $10 and eligible for free shipping on orders over $25. Maybe it just tries to show the one that gets Amazon the biggest cut first, instead.

@theblackdog: It was being sold by a third party through Amazon. They probably just ran out.
